File Manager for Windows

HI all,
I have a general question. I use the default File Explorer for Windows. I find it lacking. I used to used OPUS file manager YEARS ago, but it's a little pricey.

Anybody got a (relatively) cheap file manager that they could recommend? I have googled but it seems like every page is "top 9 file managers" and I'm always suspicious if they are promoting a product.

Thanks all,

I have tried many and use this one and it's FREE. (Freecommander) Downloads

I use XYplorer and love it.
You might find it a bit pricey but considering I have lifetime licenses on 6 computers and there is no limit, it is a bargain.
Also updates occur quite often.

XYplorer - Download

Yes, there is a FREE version.

I tried that and it was good until I tried to view my tags and ratings and they were nowhere to be found

Its not free software but maybe its what you looking for.

Thanks for the input all. I (unfortunately) downloaded Frigate3 and it's ok, but it hasn't been updated in a while. I'm trying to get a refund, but it looks like payproglobal owns them and isn't responding. oy vey.
